indie acoustic female voc
Beautifully-toned alto vocals gliding over personal lyrics and simple guitar.
To sum it up: Warm-toned alto vocals gliding over personal lyrics and simple guitar. Someone once described my style as a "beautifully sad" approach and I think that is the core of all my songwriting. Nothing innovative, but I don't mind. I write what I know, and that's that - honesty is the key. I used to have fears about people not responding to such sad music, so I'd fight it and try to be more upbeat or poppy, but I've learned that if you be yourself (musically/personally), true fans will tune in and in turn bring more listeners. And I'm happy to see that it worked; over the months I've had more and more listeners come out of the woodwork. I'm definitely open to experimenting with more genres. I'd like to get more instruments involved and different rhythms and such. I've been very attracted to the bossa nova sound lately, so you may see that crop up in my newer music. I can play guitar, bass and a little drums and piano, but hestitate to say I play multiple instruments because it implies I do it well, which I really don't haha. I'd say my two main instruments would be vocals and bass guitar. I love singing and harmonies and do them almost excessively. I love the way a bass guitar can hold down the rhythm and accent it like drums can but still be melodic. I play acoustic guitar out of necessity to back up my songs, but if I had to choose, I'd let someone else play guitar, so I could play bass.

Lyrics
broken by our insatiable dichotomy absence makes the heart grow weary and ache that doesn't subside i don't want to feel, but i do torn open, left lying vunerable still you creep in now and then to rub the salt even deeper with your so called honesty all my wishful thinking now seems severely mistaken i'd rather stand alone than be your obligation watching as you try to move on cuts like glass in my tired heart saying "i'm so happy for you" feels so distant from the truth murder my longing and bleed it dry for you i'll fade away so slowly blinded by the tragic dichotomy of what once was my life's love of what once was my life's love all my wishful thinking now seems severely mistaken i'd rather stand alone than be your obligation **this next section will be in an upcoming recording: stop forcing lies down your throat and mine wishing i'd stay blind 'cause now i clearly see past you saying you "miss me" you speak no words that i believe all my wishful thinking now seems severely mistaken i'd rather stand alone than be your obligation copyright 2002 - ciesther a. parrilla. all rights reserved
